Liz. and Sue, did it again, they brought in another great speaker.

Helen spoke on loss of point about how people view people from other states. When she talk about how Arab women not having the freedom as American women, they had to wear there Vail when in the public and how they feel when people look at them and judge them.

Well I think the nuns feel the same way when they had to wear there Vail all the time because they were married to God. And they were also look at funny and some of them had men testing them on sex, she also stated that men were discriminate against more than women.

She also had a good point about the films company and Hollywood, how they only see Arab as in fighting movies and love movie like L. of Arabian and romancing the stone. And cartoons, like Aladdin.

I really love the films she showed where one of the ladies speaks her mind on wearing a Vail. The lady said that she feels freely when she has her Vail on the men don't look at her like they do those women who walk around half naked and look at like a pieces of meat.

The other lady talks about not wear her Vail and wearing it and how she tell people where she was born depending on who asks. I liked the woman who was a dis jockey they had their own way of hip-hop.

When look at all of this from the of Arab and other racism we as Americas or not that much different we are just more free than other countries.
